I tried to export to GedCom format and got an error message (attached).  Something about my foreign font not being recognized by ANSI and that the unrecognized symbols would be replaced with question marks.  Any suggestions is appreciated.  Thanks!

I can't see the attachment ...

Was the "charset" option set to UTF-8?

Hi.  Sorry you can't see the attachment.  After I realized the drop menu had other options than ANSI, I tried all options that had "Unicode", including the UTF-7 and UTF-8.  For some of them I continued even after the warning that I would lose some fonts.  Sure enough, when I imported the GedCom file into Genealogy Reporter, there were a lot of letters replaced by "?".

The foreign font I'm using is Vietnamese, in case it makes a difference.

If this doesn't work out, I will be satisfied if I can just export the family tree to a format that I can send to others who do not have GenoPro.  I have seen several posts where people were successful doing that (e.g., PDF format with links), but I didn't see any steps on how to do it.  I am familiar with CutePDF Writer and I tried "printing" the GenoPro report but unsuccessful (awkward page - almost like print-screen).

Thank you.

Would it be possible to post a small part of you GenoGram here so we could give it a try?

Perhaps you could make a copy of your GenoGram (.gno) and delete all but one of the GenoMaps?
